Client: Google I/O
In 2023 I was fortunate to have the opportunity to manage the paid media partnership between Google and ‘X’ (formerly Twitter) for Google I/O, the annual developer conference held by Google that showcases the company's latest products, news, and innovations. By strategically planning our media and collaborating closely with 'X', my team leveraged innovative live stream video placements and methodologies to effectively reach our target audience. This resulted in over 1 million video views for the live event and subsequent replays on the day of the conference, demonstrating the power of our approach in driving engagement and awareness.
